CaptionX AI Eye Contact Correction: before / after of a speaker's gaze redirected to the camera in Adobe Premiere Pro

Direct eye contact is one of the biggest signals of speaker authority on camera

Most creators recording at home read from a script, glance at a second monitor, or sit slightly off-axis from the camera. The gaze ends up 5–15 degrees off-center — subtle enough that you don't consciously notice, significant enough that viewers feel less connection with the speaker. It's the difference between a speaker who's talking to the viewer and one who's talking near them.

AI eye contact correction — also called AI gaze correction — fixes that in post. Select the clip in Premiere Pro, hit Correct, and a corrected version drops back into your sequence with the speaker looking directly at the lens. Most off-axis source footage (5–15° off-camera) comes back reading as natural direct eye contact; extreme angles, heavy glasses glare, or partial face occlusion can occasionally produce visible artefacts, in which case the corrected clip lands on a new track so you can revert with one click.

What it fixes

Off-axis gaze

Script reading, second-monitor glances, teleprompter misalignment

Where it works

Any clip

Talking-head, interview, podcast, course footage in Premiere Pro

Processing time

~8–10× clip length

AI gaze correction is compute-heavy — runs in the background, chimes when ready so you can keep editing

How AI eye contact correction works

01

Select your clip

Highlight the talking-head or interview clip in your Premiere Pro sequence. CaptionX picks up the selection from the panel.

02

Hit Correct

One click sends the clip to the AI eye contact correction model. CaptionX runs in the background — keep editing the rest of your timeline.

03

AI redirects the gaze

NVIDIA Maxine analyses every frame and subtly redirects the speaker's gaze toward the lens. The result is natural direct eye contact, not artificial alteration.

04

Corrected clip lands above the source

When processing finishes, the corrected clip is placed on the V-track above your source. Your original is preserved — accept the correction, or revert with a single click.

Powered by NVIDIA Maxine

The same NVIDIA Maxine eye contact AI used in NVIDIA Broadcast — applied to your Premiere Pro footage

CaptionX runs NVIDIA's Maxine gaze correction model server-side, so you don't need an NVIDIA GPU on your editing machine. Send a clip from Premiere Pro, we run Maxine on it, and the corrected clip lands back on your timeline.

If you've seen NVIDIA Broadcast's eye contact effect on a live webcam feed, this is the same underlying AI — but built for editors working with already-shot Premiere Pro footage, not live video calls.

Model

NVIDIA Maxine gaze correction — the production AI used in NVIDIA Broadcast

Where it runs

Server-side — no NVIDIA GPU required on your editing machine

Input

Any Premiere Pro source clip — MP4, MOV, MXF, common camera codecs

Output

Corrected clip dropped above the source on a new V-track — non-destructive

Who it's built for

Podcast and interview editors

Two-person interview footage almost always has slightly off-axis gaze — speakers naturally look at each other or at notes during the conversation. Eye contact correction fixes the on-camera moments without per-shot manual work.

Course creators and corporate video teams

Executive interviews, CEO videos, training presenters reading from a deck — authority on camera is directly tied to perceived gaze. AI eye contact correction is the cleanest way to deliver that on every shot.

Talking-head creators (teleprompter alternative)

Reading from a script on a second monitor instead of an over-lens teleprompter? Eye contact correction is the easiest teleprompter alternative — record naturally, then redirect the gaze to camera in post. The result is the same direct eye contact a hardware teleprompter delivers, without the rig.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI eye contact correction in Premiere Pro?

CaptionX adjusts a speaker's gaze in your Premiere Pro footage so they appear to look directly into the camera — even if they were reading from a script, glancing at a second monitor, or recording slightly off-axis. Select the clip in your timeline, hit Correct, and a corrected version is placed on the track above for you to compare or replace.

How does AI eye contact correction work?

It's powered by NVIDIA Maxine — the same AI gaze model used in NVIDIA Broadcast for live video. CaptionX uploads the selected Premiere Pro clip to our processing server, runs Maxine frame-by-frame, and returns a corrected clip you can drop into your sequence. Your original footage is preserved on the track below — nothing is destructive.

Will viewers notice the eye contact correction?

Usually not. The Maxine model makes subtle eye gaze adjustments that viewers perceive as natural direct eye contact. For most off-axis source footage (roughly 5–15° off-camera) the result is convincing. Extreme head angles, heavy glasses glare, or partial face occlusion can occasionally produce visible artefacts — in those cases the corrected clip lands on a new track so you can revert with one click.

Does eye contact correction work on two-person interview footage?

Yes. CaptionX processes each clip independently, so a two-person interview where each speaker is on their own clip works exactly the way single-speaker footage does. Correct each speaker's clip in turn and drop both corrected versions into the timeline.

Does this work for Zoom calls, webcam, or live video?

No — CaptionX is for recorded footage inside Premiere Pro. If you want live eye contact correction on your webcam during a Zoom or Teams call, NVIDIA Broadcast (a free desktop app from NVIDIA) handles webcam and live video — Zoom, Teams, OBS. CaptionX is built for the editor working with already-shot footage who needs to fix eye contact in post. See CaptionX vs NVIDIA Broadcast →

Is there a free version?

Yes. Every CaptionX account includes 2 free eye contact corrections to try the feature — no credit card required. Prefer not to install the plugin? Try it free online → For ongoing editing work the Pro+ plan unlocks up to 5 hours of correction per month, with a 7-hour hard cap. See pricing →

Is this a teleprompter alternative?

It's the closest thing. A teleprompter that sits over the lens delivers perfect eye contact while the speaker reads. Eye contact correction gets you the same end result in post: the speaker reads from a second monitor or script during the shoot, then AI redirects the gaze to camera in the edit. For creators recording at home without a hardware teleprompter, it's the simplest way to deliver direct-to-camera authority on every shot.

What clip formats does eye contact correction support?

Eye contact correction works with the common Premiere Pro source formats — MP4, MOV, MXF, and most camera-recorded codecs your sequence is already using.

Does eye contact correction work in DaVinci Resolve?
